Petracca to debut v St Kilda

[Buffalo 203]

Has anyone mentioned that Petracca looks and plays like Darren Jarman?

[Ricky P 757]

How many blokes kick their goal in league footy from inside the centre square!

[Pates 9,655]

I didn't get to watch the game, is Petracca's 24 possies 2 goal performance likely to win him a rising star nom?

It'll go close.

Think his teammate James Harmes might win it this round

[Deestroy All 14,262]

That 2nd goal was ridiculous. 

 

His clean pick ups below his knees at pace and quick give offs have been a good glimpse into the talent he possesses. 

 

I love how he and Oliver keep their feet in all contests. Those 2 are so exciting.

Got him before his debut at $21... 

Lets hope he stays fit and continually improves 

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

He found the ball early on in contested situations which was good, but when he got some space and was able to kick it he really looked exciting.

yes sir.  

Check out his 2nd goal, that was amazing skill the way he tapped it to himself running full speed then goaled off the outside of the boot all within a second

Comment lacks GIF.

Carlton fans are still doing their nut that Hogan beat cripps for the rising star n hated the explanation that a good big man is better then a good small man.

Imagine the irony if petracca or Oliver beats weitering. I can almost taste the tears

Comparing a players debut game to another players debut game would have to be one of the most pointless exercises.

 

It helps me relax when I'm making ice sculptures, playing yahtzee or cloud busting.

He's getting better I suppose

How many players have kicked their first goal in AFL from 60 metres?

That was just a great kick - low, hard & straight. Thought he should have run in, but he knew what he was doing.

And the second goal - at full pace, degree of difficulty off the scale, two precise touches.

Two pieces of absolute top-drawer brilliance.

From a bloke in his second farnarkling game!!!!

What a shame for the lad that he had already been condemned to death by the nervous nellies on here.

[Adzman 2,154]

Watched the game. Trac heated up as the game went on. He is getting used to the game and looks like he will progress as the season wears on.

It won't be long before opposition supporters start talking about him as the next big thing.

[Gator 17,261]

The swagger after he kicked his second goal...

He's playing AFL, not farnarkling which is a much more difficult sport played in NZ.

[Lord Travis 10,692]

He started getting used to the speed of the game in the 2nd half. He was decent last week and this week in contested situations, he stands up in tackles and gives off quick handballs to setup goals. He needs to work on his set shits as he keeps hooking then left, but it's been a decent first two games and he could develop into something special for us.

This was in the other Petracca thread but deserves an airing here. Kids got style.

 

 

Kudos to the creator of this gif.

They're basically short film clips, but the frame rate is slower, because less pictures make up the clip. HH/Petraccattack posts them all the time.

the little fend off he gave at one stage was good too...

 

the kid looks like he's going to be a good 'n.
